Scottish Cats are Here

There was an instant silence
A blanket of shush floated over the court
Scottish cats are here!
This whisper surrounded us

I looked toward the door
A jaunty cat with attitude sauntered through it
Before he was announced
As if he owned Spain, England and Scottland

He gave me a nod as he approached the king
The king looked displeased
I wondered what it was about
But we were rushed out

None of us were royal enough to be privy to it
When we returned the Scottish cats were gone
How they left, no one knows
Except the King

Caren, I like this tall king's tale of purloined Scottish cat tails. -Richard
